and i loved that john mccain of course didn't have the nads to say this to her, he goes on foxes and friends and says her response saying it didn't matter how these people died. that was stunning. first of all she didn't use the words it didn't matter. she said what difference does it make? during the interview mccain suggested that the adoring media will protect clinton and the white house -- >> yeah, because they have been so easy on the clintons. after eight years of having republicans hate this lady, and then 12 years of having them love her, now it's like a time machine back to the '90s. that whole hearing was more '90s than my face no more [ inaudible ].
